A security guard who was seriously injured when she was trampled by people trying to hop the fence into Ultra Music Festival Friday night was still hospitalized but breathing on her own Sunday,said Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado, who planned to use the incident as leverage to block the return of the festival to Miami.

Regalado said Erica Mack, 28, the injured Contemporary Services Corporation security guard, still had a “long road ahead of her.” She suffered severe brain hemorrhaging when she was trampled by a mob of people who did not have tickets to the festival and stormed a weak spot in the fencing.
